Barkada let us host my birthday party there yesterday and we had such a good time. The staff are amazing! They really made everything so easy and I could not be more pleased. The food, drinks and wine offerings are plenty, offering something for everyone. Thank you for having us! We loved it.

Lovely wine bar. Intimate but not overwhelming vibe. Great for first dates. Best aperol spritz in the city imo. Sean is an amazing bartender - super personable!

Barkada hosted our private event and we were awestruck by the level of detail and care put into every element of our night. The atmosphere was chic and inviting, the drinks were delicious and unique, and we absolutely loved getting to know the professionals who made it all happen. I wholeheartedly recommend this space to anyone who wants to have a memorable event. We will definitely be back—we could not love this place more!!

Come here all the time. The staff knows me by name and always has recommendations for new wines to try. They also offer special events like wine tastings and once a month they do a drag queen hosted trivia night with prizes. The menu is geared to be well paired with wines. 5/5. Love Barkada. Best spot in DC for natural wines.

Every time I’m here I feel so chic and cute, the atmosphere is sophisticated and cute.Make sure to make a reservation bc it can get pretty busy on weekdaysThere’s no other queer natural wine bar in all of dc so if you’re looking for a special date night atmosphere or a cozy place to study or work this is where I would recommend. 10/10
Rating 1 star because after a 5 hour car trip, booked a dining room reservation via Resy 50 minutes prior to the reservation time (8:30). Took a 10 minute Uber in the pouring rain to the restaurant only to walk in and be told “oh, you booked a reservation? Well we just closed the kitchen because no one has come in tonight.” Had to find alternative dining arrangements huddled outside in the rain because they apparently do not use their booking app, even though times are still available on the app. So, I do not recommend booking via Resy. If you must go, be sure to call to make sure they will be serving anything when you arrive. The absurdity is that they charge $5/person for no shows…what does a reserving diner get when the restaurant no shows?

Amazing experience! Went with friends, an absolutely lovely day, wonderful food, vegetarian options (not many vegan options, if any), wine was AMAZING, cocktails AMAZING, service was very good with our needy and large group. Remember to email beforehand if you're bringing outside food and you may have to pay a cutting fee.

Drinks were fantastic and the bartenders matched!
A hidden gem. This bar is lovely— good vibes, good food, and wine Wednesdays are excellent

Hung out for an afternoon before a show. Great service. Good variety of libations. Delicious food, but a bit on the pricey side to fill you up.
Terrible and rude service.
